An Entity of Type: mean of transportation, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Purvis Eureka is a sports car which was produced by Purvis Cars at Dandenong in Victoria, Australia from 1974 until 1991. First exhibited at the 1974 Melbourne International Motor Show, the Eureka was based on the British Nova kit car design of 1971. It utilised a Volkswagen Beetle chassis, a fibreglass body and, most commonly, an air-cooled Volkswagen flat-four or a Ford inline four-cylinder engine. Others with Mazda rotary powerplants were also produced. The Eureka was offered both as a kit car and as a fully assembled vehicle. The coupe body had no doors, with access being via a manually operated one-piece canopy, although a power-operated canopy was later offered as an option. A Targa top version was also available from the early 1980s on.

  • Der Purvis Eureka war ein australischer Sportwagen, der von 1974 bis 1991 von Purvis Cars in Dandenong (Victoria) hergestellt wurde. Der Wagen, der auf der Melbourne Auto Show 1974 erstmals ausgestellt war, basierte auf der Konstruktion des britischen Nova von 1971. Er war auf dem Fahrgestell eines VW Käfer aufgebaut, hatte eine GFK-Karosserie und wurde von einem 1,6-Liter- oder 2,0-Liter-Vierzylinder-Boxermotor von VW angetrieben. Die Motoren entwickelten zwischen 50 PS (37 kW) und 71 PS (52 kW). Es gab auch Ausführungen mit 2,0-Liter-Vierzylinder-Reihenmotor von Ford (100 PS / 74 kW) und mit verschiedenen Wankelmotoren von Mazda. Der Eureka wurde sowohl als Kit Car als auch fertig montiert angeboten. Die Coupé-Karosserie hatte eine manuell nach vorne oben abklappbare Kanzel zum Ein- und Ausstieg. Auf Wunsch war sie auch elektrisch öffnend erhältlich. Ab Anfang der 1980er-Jahre gab es auch eine Version mit Targadach. * Purvis Eureka (de)
